These spongy, sweet pancakes is a delightful start for the day. My son wakes up on Saturday mornings and races into the kitchen to make these on his own; I am sure you can understands his enthusiasm and his irresistible temptation. He gobbles them up happily with Golden syrup, runny honey, strawberry sauce or simply dipping them into Nutella chocolate spread.

Encourage your kids to make these on their own under your supervision. They will be delighted to watch how the white batter forms into a lovely , golden pancake under sizzling butter.

For a change, mix a few drops of red or green liquid cake colour to the batter to make a batch of velvety red pancakes and see the delightful wonderment among your kiddies!!

What you need to make these: ( Easy to use measurements in cups are given for making these on daily basis)

Milk

150 g (4/3 cup)

Caster sugar

30 g ( 2 tbsp)

3 pinches

Egg

Into a mixing bowl, sieve the flour, salt and baking powder

In a different jug, add the egg and milk and whisk them together and add sugar. Rapidly whisk until the sugar dissolves

Pour the milk, sugar and egg mixture into the flour and beat gently with a wooden spoon until a smooth batter is formed without any lumps

Place a flat non-stick pan on medium flame and melt butter until bubbly
